Heywood Narrawong

Heywood and Narrawong are nearby Victorian areas with very different economic and social profiles. Narrawong has a much more qualified workforce, with 22.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 5.9% in Heywood. This is reflected in the typical weekly household income, which is far higher in Narrawong at $1,816, while Heywood is much lower at $1,077. Heywood is more established as a service hub, with 74.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Narrawong has no homes within that distance.

Both areas are largely similar in their share of full-time workers and the number of people born overseas. However, the gap in qualifications is widening, as Narrawong's share of people who completed Year 12 is now 50.9%, while Heywood is far lower at 29.0%. This difference in education is consistent with the occupational split, with far more professionals in Narrawong and more labourers in Heywood.
